New Brunswick Electrical Estimating

New Brunswick Electrical Estimating Services

MeTiger provides electrical estimating and takeoff support for contractors and general contractors working across New Brunswick — from Moncton and Dieppe to Saint John, Fredericton, and Bathurst. We turn your tender drawings, specifications, and addenda into clean quantities, labour summaries, marked-up plans, and documented scope, delivered remotely so a project’s location in the province never slows the bid.

Local context

Electrical estimating built for New Brunswick projects

New Brunswick electrical work follows the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) as adopted in the province, with inspection and permitting handled through the New Brunswick electrical inspection authority and the local authority having jurisdiction. We estimate to what the tender documents call for and keep that provincial context in view while we count.

Most of the province is served by NB Power, and service entrance, metering, and utility-coordination details can shape the electrical scope on any given job. We account for the servicing shown on your drawings, note where the utility interface is left unclear, and flag it so the question can be settled before bid day rather than after award. New Brunswick is also an officially bilingual market, so we can work from tender documents issued in English or French.

Code & compliance

New Brunswick code & compliance

Our estimating and scope review are informed by the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) as adopted in New Brunswick, alongside the project specifications, drawings, addenda, and local utility requirements. We estimate what the documents describe and note where they conflict or leave a gap, so nothing is priced on a silent assumption.

Final compliance remains subject to the project engineer, the New Brunswick authority having jurisdiction, and applicable provincial requirements. MeTiger provides estimating and coordination support only. We do not produce stamped drawings, sealed or professional engineering, or code-compliance certification, and we work alongside the engineer of record where required.

FAQ

New Brunswick estimating FAQ

Do you provide electrical estimating across New Brunswick?
Yes. We support electrical contractors and general contractors across New Brunswick remotely — Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton, Dieppe, Bathurst, and the smaller communities in between. Everything is delivered from your PDF or DWG tender set, so where a job sits in the province never limits who we can help.
Which electrical code do you estimate to in New Brunswick?
Our takeoffs and scope review are informed by the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) as adopted in New Brunswick, together with the project specifications, drawings, addenda, and local utility requirements. Final compliance remains subject to the project engineer, the New Brunswick authority having jurisdiction, and applicable provincial requirements.
Can you work from English or French tender documents?
Yes. New Brunswick is an officially bilingual market, and tender packages arrive in English or French. We can take off drawings and specifications issued in either language and return a package your team can review.
Can you work from PDF or DWG drawings?
Both. Send a PDF tender set or DWG / CAD files, the specifications, and any addenda — or share a Dropbox, Drive, or Procore link. We work from whatever the design team issued.
Do you sign an NDA before we share drawings?
Yes. A non-disclosure agreement is available on request before you share any tender documents or plan links.
